| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-02-17 15:50:12 I snagged it off eBay on a buy it now:    I'm thrilled, I finally got it tested and it just read a CD-R! [😀] ]'> | |
| Posted by: uniserver on 2013-02-17 15:58:55 how much did you end up throwing down for that bad boy? | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-02-17 16:11:06 Thirty bucks (less a nickel) shipped, guaranteed to please . . . . . . and it does! :approve: | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2013-02-17 22:28:52 Oh cool. It's the version that wasn't stripped of the front panel by Apple. I personally would prefer caddy loading CD-R instead. 😉 | |
Posted by: uniserver on 2013-02-17 23:39:06caddy loading CD-RWas there many of those made? | |
| Posted by: macman142 on 2013-02-17 23:45:40 I have my fingers crossed for you that it doesn't need re-capping!!! ALL of my caddy-load SCSI Apple CD drives are dead or almost dead and all have leaking caps 🙁 | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2013-02-18 00:03:17 Plextor made them at least. Possibly Yamaha too. They aren't rare. I picked up a seven drive tower for $20 form a recycler and gave another one to someone to put in their NeXT Cube. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-02-18 03:19:54 Gah! Recapping! :O Hopefully not, it works wonderfully as is. I couldn't find a CD-RW to burn to test it with, but I can dig a backup out for that. I wonder if I may need to remove the bezel to mount it in the 950? | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-02-18 17:06:01 Were those Sony drives that died of CapLeakage? Looks like they've got another one for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Apple-Macintosh-Sony-CDU561-25-CD-ROM-Drive-Caddy-Load-/140912539408 | |
| Posted by: onlyonemac on 2013-02-19 09:47:41 I think the correct name is a Caddy Loader. | |
